for how long you taking Imbruvica now

[guyhighlander]

I am taking 2 pills / 280mg per day since 2015 , had some skin problems in the beginning,than the doc reduced to take 3 to 2 pills.

had some good years ,no problems, also while working in the building industry.

but now nearly 60, getting first virus infection including swollen lymph nod in the left leg, but also swollen left ankle,and fever and very tired.have to take antibiotics for treating this infection.

but anyway my question,is there somebody taking Imbruvica for a longtime,maybe more than 10 years and how you feel ?

hope you all doing well and enjoying life

i don't think ibrutinib treatment even in a trial was available 10 years ago. I think the farthest back it goes was in trials 7 years ago

Yes, I think for the USA it first became available to those treatment naive with 17pdel , and those who had failed previous treatments around Jan 2015. I began taking it mid March 2015, one year into my journey. Saved my life. I took til October 2017 when I switched to Venclexta.
